Here is one of several fictional courses I have in the works. 

I'm having some bad luck on my projects lately! Suddenly Easy Roads stopped working so I need to figure out how to finish the paths and roads I was planning to do. 

I'm going to take a break from this one for a bit, so before anything else happens to this project... a first look at Twin Finch Golf Club:
 https://www.dropbox...._beta1.zip?dl=0

 

Only three sets of tees for now. I will add challenge tees later. 

I still need to finish and fix some buildings, fine tune some planting and texturing, and a bunch of other things. 

I recommend playing this with Dynamic Skies OFF. Several holes slow down for me quite a bit with DS ON. Maybe someone can let me know what framerates they are getting. 

I like playing this course with Firm Fairways and Normal Greens, 12/13 stimp and some breeze. 

The course has very deep bunkers which must be avoided at all costs. Please check your aim from the tee. I have not moved shot points to avoid centerline bunkering. 

The fence line is OB. It comes close to play on several holes.

Thanks to Justin for the bridges. 

Play through and let me know what you think of the layout. Hope you all enjoy it!

All comments and criticisms are welcome.

Looking great Bortimus.  Very realistic looking design.  The only thing I noticed playing the back 9 were the tee markers.  You can see a translucent grey box surrounding the finch.

Thanks yesrushdt.

I had the wrong shader on those markers. I have corrected that for the next build.

My golfer has two shadows, the scene looks very bright, other wise 

I like it a lot.

PS with dynamic skies off only one shadow.

i made a couple passes through this course yesterday, again i like the colors

and the played look of the course. only issue i had was i believe it was on hole 8

left side of fairway i got an unexpected OB where i was not off the fairway that far.

will go back and try to replacate it later and find the spot.

Working through this course over the next few days, will report back asap

Found a few things, some tee boxes look like there sunk/lower , front of the tee boxes have a higher edge

Found some floating trees as well, will supply some pics tomorrow

Tees are 2d as well, you probably know that anyway

Course has a great outlook/feel and design, top notch  Mr B, you set a great standard

 

Thank you

[bortimus]

Thanks for taking a look.

Dave, holes 3 and 10 have the OB fence come very close to the advantageous side of the fairway. Hole 8 has the fence along the left but it shouldn’t be too close. I will double check those OB splines.

Ping, yes the tee depths are lowered. Maybe they are overdone. The bird tees were an attempt at using quads for tee markers. Perhaps unsuccessfully haha

This is a great course to play and very challenging from the hard pins.

Hi There

Link below to have a gander at

Maybe just check the tee boxes as per pics, they do seem to be lowered a little bit

 

H3  Bit of grass sitting there on the semi rough- up to you, i just snap pics that catch my attention 

H5  Fix up the terrain that cover the ends of the  bridge- pics shown 

H7  Floating Tree not planted into terrain

H8  Very steep entry to bridge, can you make this more subtle and realistic

      You could make a windy angled softer path/entry to bridge, just looks way too steep there

H10  Barbed wire is going through the tree, it is noticeable  at times as ball lands in proximity

        Jagged water edges, smooth them some more

       Raise terrain to bridge

H11  Tear found near bunker edge

H14  Jagged bunker edge as shown

H15  Raise terrain to bridge

        Jagged water edges, smooth them some more

H16  Grass in bridge

H17  Grass in bridge

H18  Maybe check the terrain slope where the stakes are as per pics

Excellent Course, you already know that i would say, very well done Mr B

 

Big Thanks mate

Updated Version 2: https://www.dropbox.... ... a2.7z?dl=0

Fixed issues mentioned in previous testing 
Updated some textures and planting
Added various custom course objects and decals
Added Challenge Tees
More local sound coverage


Let me know what you think. Pretty close to a final version.

  Simply Superb!!!!!   Love it !!!!

Spectacular layout - plays great - Not sure if you had any design help with an existing course, but if this one came from just your head than you deserve extra props..... greens were designed to be nasty but fair.. excellent pin placements...

Well done and thanks for another " bortimus beauty"

Only played a few holes but outstanding work.

Only thing I noticed was low frame rates on 1st tee (Championship). I was getting 40 FPS where i normally get 70-80+

Didnt notice low frame rates anywhere else on the few holes I played.
